Rumors have been circulating that the romantic relationship between Jackie Matubia and Blessing Lung’aho has come to an end. The couple, who recently marked their second dating anniversary two weeks ago, seems to have realized that their journey together is not without its challenges.
Speculations gained traction when Matubia began deleting most of the pictures featuring both of them from her social media accounts, leaving only a handful. On Instagram, the former Zora actress took it a step further by unfollowing Blessing. Moreover, they stopped collaborating on YouTube videos, adding more fuel to the rumors.
Fans took notice of these actions, with some suggesting that the couple was seeking attention, while others asserted that they had parted ways. Responding to the breakup speculations, Matubia addressed the rumors, stating, “People want you to be unhappy so bad. Nah, we are blessed over here! I pray you all to find happiness so you don’t be so miserable.”
In response to the ongoing speculation, Matubia shared cryptic TikTok videos about their relationship. Lip-syncing to a popular TikTok sound, she expressed uncertainty about her relationship status, saying, “Sina uhakika nayo” (I am not sure about it).
Matubia further hinted at potential issues in their relationship through another video, suggesting personal growth after falling for a man. She confessed, “Nilikuwa nafikirianga ni mimi pekee yangu naitwanga babyghurl na nikafanya makosa nikashika simu yake, let me tell you Maina…I’ll never recover” (I used to think I was the only one calling myself baby girl, and I made a mistake by touching his phone, let me tell you Maina…I’ll never recover).
Jackie Matubia and Blessing Lung’aho have been in a relationship for a considerable time and share a child together. Despite a brief mention of a potential wedding in September 2022 during an interview with Eve Mungai, the couple has not publicly discussed marriage plans. Lung’aho expressed his readiness for the wedding but emphasized that Jackie’s busy schedule was a hindrance. He stated, “If it were up to me, I would have had the wedding like yesterday, but she is always busy.” Lung’aho clarified that he would involve her in every aspect of the wedding planning, acknowledging her high standards and the need for meticulous planning for such a significant event.
Lung’aho proposed to Jackie in April 2022 during the celebration of his birthday at a city hotel. While they occasionally share glimpses of their life, the couple generally keeps their private moments away from the public eye. On June 2, the couple welcomed their first child.
